Absolutely endorse the very professional manner in which this event has been organized and managed, year on year. Raju as always, is the ROCK STAR of the event. Kudos Raju, keep up the excellent work in the interest of the HR Professionals in India and overseas.
Great work by the jurists, professional dedication of the main event co-ordination team and the tremendous hard work put in by the 'Fun & Joy at Work' team….have now firmed up a combination for the magical recipe that has consistently led to successful management of this Congress.
But none of this could possible without stellar role that Raju plays….
Albeit not directly associated with the organization, I will continue to be the quiet and secret admirer of the professional work you all do.
Good luck to you all for the future

Dear Core Team,

I am sure all of you will join me in saluting Raju for the best ever World HR event last week. The sessions, the dignitaries, the 89 country delegates all exceeded all our past events. This event should be the pinnacle of all the past events. One man has shown what he can do and that's Raju. We saw likes of Mr Narayan Murthy spending over 2 hours at our event by no means a small achievement. This success also puts to rest one debate as to which is the largest HR event and clearly World HR congress 2011 is far above the rest.Thanks are also due to Mr Bhaskar Chatterjee,Mr.Arun Arora and Mr. Harish Mehta for their guidance and all other core team members and sponsors for their support.
Lets all be proud of what Raju showcased last week. Kudos to Dr Bhatia.

Dr. Bhatia,

Thank you for sending me these images. As you know, I also took some images and video at the event, which I plan to use to promote your event and the speakers through our social networks. It should only help raise the profile for this wonderful event, in India, as well as throughout Asia, Europe and the US. I must say, you and your team really ran a first-class event. Such positive energy and an excellent line up of speakers. I had a wonderful time, and will be taking the positive energy forward back to my India team (based in Hyderabad) as well as our other offices (Dhaka and New York).
If you are even in New York, please look me up. I would be glad to host you.

Namaste,

Dear Raju :

My hearty congratulations for a very successful event. This time it was better than the last and I am sure you would make the next one better than this. With God's grace and your hard work you are creating new benchmarks all the time.
No one knows more than you that organising such mega events which are spread over many days is extremely energy sapping. All of us including you are not getting younger no matter how much energetic we are. Emotional and physical fatigue is known to trigger suboptimal response. And, since these actions/reactions take place at the spur of the moment, we can generally not plan for them to always contribute positively to our business/strategy/other interests. Therefore, as a rule they mostly end in an erosion of our brand equity.
You outburst is perfectly natural and understandable. Perhaps we would have been able to achieve better results if we could have limited this within the group of a few friends and collectively planned to eliminate the reasons for heartburn for future.
I want to reassure you that Harishbhai and I have expressed what we have because of our concern and affection for you and both of us want to see you scaling much greater heights in future.

Warm regards,

Dear Dr. Bhatia,

It was marvellous experience and the most enjoyable 3 days of journey. The process of learning and sharing with such a diverse speakers made it like a "Wow experience".
If I echo the sharing of international delegates, speakers and participants, " they have found WHRD anytime better than any congress in other parts of the world".
A big credit goes to you for your relentless energy and tremendous hard work of entire team. It is my privilege to be part of it.
You have indebted me with your love and care as an elder brother and I am not finding right words to put forward my gratitude. I would only say that "Thank You very much" and would be always there in your all the endeavours.

With lots of love

This is certainly the biggest Global HR event – where you can meet Who's who of the industry, global leaders of repute, large number from of participants from 89 countries, so many CMD's / CEOs covering major portion of GDP, rare and unique session by Marshal Goldsmith, glittering award functions etc.
Narayana Murthy's statement "why can't we have something like this in NASSCOM" talks a lot about world HRD Congress ----!
Dr Bhatia – your charisma, leadership, passion and execution are truly exemplary. Great Team of fun & Joy three cheers for you all for wonderful and wow job done!
The gracious and inspiring presence, total support and guidance of Mr Bhaskar Chatterjee, Mr Harish Mehta and Mr Arun Arora in all events have added so much value to the brilliant success of the event.

Dear Dr. Bhatia,

It was such a pleasure to meet you and to see you in action at the World HRD Congress. You really conducted it beautifully and brought fun and joy to all participants.
I was really touched that you asked me to present at short notice, and welcomed me into the community of presenters, that really helped me to have a very fulfilling experience, at a place where I felt I may be a newcomer. I really appreciated all the Speakers and the interactions we had, and have heard from many of them already. Thank you for that inclusion. I can assure you that I would conduct a more fun and cutting edge interactive session, if given prior notice and time for preparation. I would be glad to do so for next year, if you like.
Nina asked me to share my reactions about the conference with her and help her spread the word in the US and help bring more participants from there for the Congress next year. It would be my pleasure to do that.
If you want ideas for next years Congress, both for Speakers and for ways that might make it even more fun and joyous for all, I would be happy to talk, once you have got over this conference and all the work and effort that goes into it.
I applaud you on the spirit and the caliber of the conference. Congratulations on the wonderful people that support you and that attend the Congress. I wish you the very best in your noble work for the HR Community, for the corporate world and eventually for our country.

Dear Dr. Bhatia,

First and foremost, thank you.
Thank you for your very fine hospitality, and thank you for inviting me to participate. I hope my presentation met your expectations.
Incidentally, I found it very interesting that a great number of people sought me out in the hallways Friday and Saturday after I spoke, wanting to talk about Personal Futures. There seemed to be a genuine interest in applying futures methods to training and learning.
Everything about the HRD Congress was very well arranged and managed. The entire event is a great credit to you. I believe I learned a great deal from other speakers, particularly from you and Marshall. My presentations will become better as a result of this experience. I had a great time, and working with you has been a valuable and exciting experience.
